The link below is decently-shot video purporting to be from the Seattle aquarium in the U.S. Pacific Northwest, showing a large octopus taking a 3'-4' shark at night in the aquarium's main tank. The narration relates that several shark carcasses were found in the aquarium, without explanation, until an employee video-taped the event and solved the mystery.
Regarding its accuracy, the bad news is that the video is labeled as coming from "Funny Videos" in the UK, and offers links to other "crazy videos". The good news is that a quick, online check of Snopes and UrbanLegends didn't pop up any obvious "It's a hoax" analyses. I wasn't sure where to post this question and the link, so here it is.
BTW, I searched Scubaboard for existing threads with the same sort of phrase I used to search the hoax sites, "octopus shark video".

Despite the sci-fi style of narration and soundtrack, it seems real, and possible. What do y'all think?
